Jeff Chidester: Squirrel Apocalypses, Democrats Underwater, Kimmel

The Morning Update host, Jeff Chidester, opens the show by discussing the most incredible reality show: local politics.

Jeff shares a story about the ‘squirrel apocalypse‘ phenomenon, which had one local reporter counting dead squirrels along a stretch of a NH highway, so much for just playing the ‘punch buggy‘ game.

Jeff reviews CNN’s Harry Enten’s analysis on a recent poll that shows the Democrats underwater and leaving Harry to ask – “Whatever Democrats Are Doing, It Ain’t Working”

Jeff concludes with the trends of the day and the latest updates, including an update on cell phone bans in NH schools.
